Pimalai Resort & Spa

We stayed at the Pimalai for two nights in July and we loved every moment of it. The rooms were clean, new and very comfortable. The grounds were absolutely breathtaking. It seems like you are literally in a jungle as you move from the beachside restaurant to the spa and the lobby. The infinity pool is breathtaking. The included breakfast was delicious. There was nothing that we could complain about and the staff were absolutely great in meeting all of our needs (including the world class spa).

We had a fabulous time at Pimalai. The location, staff and facilities are excellent. We enjoyed the beach, infinity pools, gym, tennis and breakfast! The staff are attentive and not overbearing. 700m along the beach is a small village with some bars, restaurants, spas and a 7-11. The Spa experience at Pimalai was superb. We had a male & female facial, sports massage, royal Siam Thai massage and aroma massage which were incredibly relaxing. We can't fault Pimalai. Thank you Frank & team.

Pimalai was great from start to finish. At the airport we were met by their staff who gave us cold water and put us into comfortable transportation for the trip to the resort. After an hour and a half we were in heaven. The only thing that worked against us some of the time was the weather, but even that could not spoil the Pimalai experience. The room: We had the beach front villa and it was fantastic. Easily space for a family of 4 or 5. Waking up and looking out to the beautiful beach and sea was a blessing. There were a few lizards around but that can't be helped and they were the friendly sort. Bathroom was spacious and clean with an indoor and outdoor shower. Overall great value for money. The facilities: Two large pools for general use and we also had our own private pool. Very pleasant overall. Our room was right on the beach which was quiet and had good quality sand. Perfect for relaxing. The resort is BIG. Regular golf carts to ferry us around. The spa was in a beautiful tropical forest setting and it really looked the part. My wife was a bit disappointed with the after sun treatment which only consisted of cold towels rather than aloe vera. However the massage we had together was very good. Overall the setting of the resort is idyllic. We wanted a relaxing vacation and we certainly got that at Pimalai. Food and drink: A plentiful supply of water all the time. At the pool I was constantly given ice water which was well needed under the sun. Cocktails were passable although not spectacular. We were very impressed by the beach restaurant where we had an exceptional dining experience right next to the sand. However the buffet in seven seas was a little disappointing with the lack of selection, we were also put off by smart casual dress code. We were there for a beach holiday. The breakfast buffet met all our needs! Service: The best part of the hotel are the staff. Attentive in all the right ways. Their concern for us seemed genuine and the staff made effort to know who we were and whether we were having fun. A few other points: The hotel is a little remote, there is not much nearby and transport to other restaurants. We were looking for a relaxing holiday so this suited us down to the ground. There were some instructions directed to chinese guests in the room about how they should behave but no such instructions in English. We found this a little distasteful. All in all, we would recommend Pimalai to couples and families who want to get away from it all for a few days. It is a very special place!

Beautiful place, friendly staff, morning buffet is delicious. Beautiful pools to swim in. You can hire water sport equipment, sports equipment and bikes for free which is really helpful. The spa experience was lovely. Trip to Ko ngai well organised on a private comfortable boat, though you can get more from your money if you chose from a tourist centre. Would not recommend elephant experience on the island at all as it is clearly not ethical for the elephants and the mahouds who control the elephants are not always friendly to both elephants and tourists. You can get cheap food down the road which is a good alternative. The Pancake stall next to 7eleven is a must.
